Unto Thee be praise, O Lord my God! I entreat Thee… to rend asunder the veils that shut me out from Thee, that I may hasten unto the Fountain-Head of Thy mighty inspiration, and to the Day-Spring of Thy Revelation and bountiful favors, and may be immersed beneath the ocean of Thy nearness and pleasure.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah)
